Some red carpet appearances rely on sparkle. Others rely on structure. Samantha Ruth Prabhu chose the latter.
At Tamannaah Bhatia’s fine jewellery store launch in Juhu, where diamonds and gemstones naturally
dominated the spotlight, Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s look leaned into something far sharper – tailoring, silhouette, and attitude. Instead of competing with the glimmer of jewels, she let clean lines and couture codes do the talking.
The result felt modern, architectural, and quietly commanding.
Parisian Codes Reimagined
Samantha wore Jean Paul Gaultier’s fringed Mariniere top, a contemporary twist on the designer’s iconic stripe motif. The sleeveless silhouette featured graphic horizontal bands and cut-out detailing that revealed a hint of midriff, giving the classic Breton stripe a rebellious, after-dark spin.

Fringe details added movement with every step, softening the structured geometry of the piece. The top balanced heritage and edge – a nod to Parisian chic, reworked for a Mumbai night out. Paired with sleek black trousers, the look grounded itself in restraint. The tailored pants streamlined the ensemble, allowing the statement top to remain the focal point while keeping the overall mood sophisticated rather than theatrical.
Samantha’s accessories followed a deliberate, high-impact formula. She stepped into Saint Laurent’s iconic Opyum pumps – those instantly recognisable sculptural heels shaped like the YSL logo. The sharp, pointed silhouette echoed the precision of her outfit while adding a subtle fashion insider touch. A Hermes bag completed the look, reinforcing the understated luxury narrative. It didn’t shout; it whispered exclusivity.
Her glam mirrored the outfit’s energy – sleek hair, minimal makeup, and a confident glow that allowed the clothes to lead.
At the event, Samantha’s outfit quietly echoed the same spirit of independence and strength. The ensemble had felt less like event dressing and more like a statement: contemporary women don’t need excess to stand out. Sometimes, structure is the strongest accessory. And Samantha Ruth Prabhu wore it flawlessly.
